IITian who killed girl was a pervert: Cops

I
IT scholar Pushpam Kumar Sinha, who allegedly murdered a 19-year-old girl from Manipur, is a "pervert and maniac" suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder, the Delhi Police said on Monday.

"On inspecting Sinha's room, we found articles that point to obsessive-compulsive behaviour. He had drawn suggestive graffiti on the walls. Things in his laptop too gave us clues about his mental state. On reading his diaries, we felt he is a pervert and maniacal," said Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) H.G.S. Dhaliwal.

Dhaliwal said Sinha strangulated Ramchanphy Hongray when she resisted his advances. "The victim reacted angrily when Sinha tried to make advances. He feared she would inform the police, so he strangulated her," he said. "To make it as a case of accident, he put her face on the gas stove and lit it."

Twist in the murder case

IITian Pushpam Kumar Sinha's father claimed on Monday his son was married and that his daughter-in-law was keeping unwell.

Pushpam's wife lives in a housing society in Patna. The guard of the society tried to turn mediapersons away when they visited the complex.

Sinha was arrested on Sunday for the murder of Hongray at her second floor accommodation in south Delhi's Munirka area on Saturday. He was doing research in wave mechanics from IIT-Delhi.

"Initially there was no suspicion of foul play, but the post-mortem report suggested she died of strangulation and not burns. We zeroed in on Sinha after a discreet inquiry," said Dhaliwal.

"Sinha had a complex. He wrote in his diary that he was not able to make friends with girls. One graffiti read that 'this is the time to make girl friend. I am finally making someone'," he said.
